What is SFG20?

SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance. We provide customisable maintenance guidance, accessed via cutting-edge software, to help building owners, facilities managers, FM consultants, and contractors control risk, achieve compliance, and ensure your buildings are safe and efficient.
